Post quality has dropped severely since this '50 post' fiasco' , must be kinda what BMR forums are like :D
-
I didn't know BMR even had forum technology
-
I like posting
-
i dont like posting that much, furthermore for nothing
-
getting sick of posting
-
I don't know. The system has a point. If vendors can bypass it that is. But this feels fairly meaningless indeed. Let's keep on posting!
-
lol @ the Virwex spammer on page 1 and 2
-
i feel like shit
-
Can't they implement some sort of other 'spam' prevention system? I mean this whole thing is to prevent those BTC bot scam/spam websites to stop from spamming the main board categories, and yet the normal members who actually post decently and participate within the forums are exiled and made to spam themselves until they can work their way up... aghh... this is getting way too annoying.
If they had more moderators this sort of thing wouldn't happen.
-
agree,
id prefered to pay a single btc than this

Someone needs to sort this shit out, this whole ordeal won't solve anything, other than make members angry and pissed off. Which it already has.
-
and btc spammers are still there ...
-
I only hope the newbie forum is excluded in the search function.

And I don't think they intend on leaving.

This feels like we've been put into a creche!
What is the primary reason for this newbie postcount business anyway?
Are the veterans sick of answering the same questions from people who won't read the wikis or FAQs?
Or is it because the captcha style verification seems to do nothing to keep the bogey bitcoin spammers off the forums?
-
I always wondered, does anybody here ever click on any of those spam links? I mean, people here more or less know at least something about technology, enough for those posts to immediately be blocked by a mental bullshit filter...

I wonder this too, people who buy it must surely be retarded. Or... bots themselves :O
-
The thing is there are a lot of effective methods of preventing spam bots, however most of them would require members to loose some of their anonymity, which moderators/administrators are trying to protect, so I can understand why they won't implement some stricter methods of spam prevention.
But there is always one, why not make the forum invite only? ::)
-
link ability to enter the forum (for buyers) to at least X succesful transactions
-
All this spam is sad.. :/ and making newbies forced to post 50 times before they can "use" the real forum
-
not sorry for the spam
-
I only hope the newbie forum is excluded in the search function.
lol I hope so too. All the more reason that no newbie will actually find the newbie section usefull.

I would like to contribute reviews to some of the review threads, especially SuperTrips since it seems there are a lot people who are disheartened by him right now, but i'm not going to waste my time spamming 50 posts to be able to do so. Oh well, there is a reason for the new system.. too bad people have to abuse it and have these rules put in place.
-
the newbie section will be full of posts like these.
-
I feel bad for those under 10 posts...
-
Because of these new rules I must spam SR forum before I can contribute.. hmm, good work.
-
and if the spammers are using automated methods to spam the entire forum, wouldnt it be just as easy to spam the newb board for 50 posts and then back to spamming the whole site?
-
New SR rules are making me spam this forum to obtain 50 posts before I can contributue.
-
Quality
-
This sucks. I promised to post a review for a vendor of one of his free samples, and now I can't do it until I get to 60.
-
One more thing...
No, sorry, it's gone.

This may have something to do w/ it as there were times when the same stupid questions were posted 10 times on the same page of the forums.
Some people refuse to read and educate themselves, many of them come on here demanding a step by step guide. A reflection of our society, I suppose, so many people wanting instant gratification at the expense of personal safety and personal freedom. When I first came here I spent the first few days reading until my head swam. Didn't make my first purchase for weeks. Apparently, some come on here and within an hour or so they are buying drugs without encrypting their addresses - no interest in learning PGP, they just want DRUGS.
-
Well most people do come her for drugs. At first it is a bit like being a kid in a candy shop. Totally agree that you should be doing your research before you jump into anything.
-
people are just posting anything to get there 50
-
Pretty sure the post quality will only suffer in this forum, which was created for that reason exactly - to keep the shitty newbie posts away from the grownups.
-
Yeah, have to agree. Although it may seem crappy, it at least contains the problem to one section.
-
bumping this up, it's important to be read by others
